Polyester Or Wool Tuxedo?
The tuxedo can be created using, cotton, polyester, wool, silk, satin, and even cashmere. In recent years, the most popular materials used have been wool and polyester. I wrote this article to outline the benefits of choosing each material.
Sheep are the primary sources for the creation of wool. This fabric is easy to find and easy to manipulate to make great garments. Expect to find wool in shirts, blankets, suits, and even your tuxedo.
When looking for a garment that is great in all climates, defies static, and holds up well over time, you will find wool. The reasons listed have made this fabric the worlds most popular fabric for suits and tuxedos.
Disadvantages of wool come in the form of its ability to wrinkle and inability to be run through a washing machine. People who purchase a wool suit do so with the knowledge that they will have recurring costs in the form of dry cleaning.
Polyester is a man made creation combining chemicals occurring naturally with unnatural chemicals to produce fiber. This material was very popular in the 70's and 80's in suit production, but has since lost most of its fame.
The major advantages of polyester are its wrinkle resistant properties and its ability to be washed in a standard washing machine. This material is often combined with other materials to produce superior clothing.
The major fault of polyester is the way it feels in comparison to more natural materials. Also this fabric is known to hold in heat, which can lead to copious sweating and discomfort.
Men and women looking for a tuxedo should consider the material carefully. These two fibers really are two different animals. Feel free to bookmark this article and come back to it whenever necessary.
